Cerro Punta

Perched nearly 2,000 meters above sea level and overlooking a valley surrounded by densely forested mountains, Cerro Punta is Panama's highest-altitude population, which means it is frequently engulfed in clouds. The town has dedicated itself to agriculture since its founding, making it one of the leading vegetable suppliers in the country.

Location

Cerro Punta is on the main highway from David and on the road leading to La Amistad International Park.
